'L' Logo Contest

Participants:

• Entry to this contest is open to all individuals.

Purpose:

• The purpose of this logo contest is to establish a graphically appealing letter ‘L’ that pro-life groups across Canada would have the option of incorporating into their own logo. Ideally, the purpose would be for groups to incorporate the letter ‘L’ into the word Life in the title of their organization. This would enable all pro-life groups to have a common unifying symbol.
• This ‘L’ would essentially be used on letterhead, business cards etc.

Task:

• Create a graphically appealing letter ‘L’ design that could be incorporated into the word LIFE by pro-life organizations. Note: the word life does not always appear at the beginning of an organization name. For instance, some organizations are ‘Right to Life’ some are Pro-Life etc.

Guidelines:

• The letter ‘L’ design must graphically represent the mission of LifeCanada as well as its affiliate and associate members: to promote the sanctity of all human life from fertilization to natural death through public education. To advocate for the preborn, the disabled, the infirm and the elderly who are all uniquely created by God.
• The design should be simple but unique, keeping in mind the practical uses of the design on letterhead, business cards, promotional material etc.
• Designs should be such that they remain clear and sharp if reduced, enlarged, photocopied or faxed.
• Keep in mind that this design will be used in both colour and grey scale.
• The design must be accompanied by a brief description of the design elements and justification behind these elements.
• If the design is based on an existing font, the name of the font must be included in the written explanation of the design
